1. Of Light And Shadow

2. Age Of Pandora

Black clouds cross the sky like demons they arise
Unholy legions slay all light

In the past the lines were longer
Balance on earth much stronger
The daylight shined much brighter
Our human hauteur lighter

No i won't dare to praise
All the bygone nights and days
But can't you see the signs
Pandora dons her deathman's sight

United by hatred - A dark corps at it's best
We will pay for our nasty sins
Bigoted Dastards - Two-edged twins

Age of Pandora comes
Our justice, our hangman
To doom the human pride
Blood and thunder crash the site

Soon scared cries thrill the night
Carnage - Lakes of blood arise

[Chorus:]
Black clouds cross the sky
An evil army slays all light
Unholy troops arise
The demons of our tainted Reich
Black steam, the scourge of time
Prepares to overrun front lines
Unholy legions determined to slay all light

I can hear our funeral bells
see the tombs overfilled dark procession
On way to hell, Resist and arm for

STRIKE when the iron is still hot
RAISE your fist, pay with blood
FORGE your destiny
Standing tall, form new walls
STRIKE when the iron is still hot
RAISE your fist, pay with blood
FORGE your destiny
Standing tall, form new walls

The world is doomed by chaos on a course towards the abyss
Get armed for your last fight and welcome the eternal night
The time has come for us to die
Pandora rise

[Chorus:]
Black clouds cross the sky
An evil army slays all light
Unholy troops arise
The demons of our tainted Reich
Black steam, the scourge of time
Prepares to overrun front lines
Unholy legions determined to slay all light

[Power-chorus:]
Black clouds cross the sky
Like demons they arise
Unholy legions
Slay all night

[Chorus:]
Black clouds cross the sky
An evil army slays all light
Unholy troops arise
The demons of our tainted Reich
Black steam, the scourge of time
Prepares to overrun front lines
Unholy legions determined to slay all light

3. Blackened Seed

We all know this filthy pack
Living in a town of rats
A horde of sinners, twisted plague - Chadband - Dark seed
Authority of the holy Reich - Satan’s ever right aside

In shadow standing – Arcane acting
Wrong illusions – A holy pollution
Lies telling – Hollow-pretending
Wrong illusions - Holy pollution

Herdsmen of the weak
Our children’s malady
Disease of a blackened seed
Church means agony

[Chorus:]
Moribund - Arise against the holy Reich
Underdogs - Unite to smash their twisted light
Free born troops - Rush ‘gainst Rome arouse a storm
Procus animus mortem Vatican

Expeditio sacra deus lo vult
Inquirere letum preccatore
Thy god ain’t my lord
Thy god’s dolor
Thy kirk ain’t my church
Thy faith’s my scourge

The stronghold of evil evaporates to dust
Even your holy father addicts the human lust
Servants decrease demise of Vatican
Brick after brick the realm begins to fall

In shadow standing – Arcane acting
Wrong illusions – A holy pollution
Lies telling – Hollow-pretending
Wrong illusions - Holy pollution

[Chorus:]
Moribund - Arise against the holy Reich
Underdogs - Unite to smash their twisted light
Free born troops - Rush ‘gainst Rome arouse a storm
Procus animus mortem Vatican

Gather your force to unleash a storm
Relieve your mind
Breakup their Reich

Soon a new dawn will awake
Thousand comrades prepare for raid
You sow wind we bring storm
Your feigned lies stoke our scorn

[Chorus:]
Moribund - Arise against the holy Reich
Underdogs - Unite to smash their twisted light
Free born troops - Rush ‘gainst Rome arouse a storm
Procus animus mortem Vatican

4. Black Witch Venture

Hänsel und Gretel weinten tief im Wald
Trotz Mondes Schimmer verstummten sie alsbald

Darkness surrounds two dead corpses
Stranded alone in the woods
Fear and sorrow reigned their souls
Abandoned far away from home

Nibble, nibble like a mouse
Who is nibbling at my house
The Wind the wind and dark wroth clouds
Nibble, nibble like a rat
Who is nibbling at my shack
Come in my kids, the sky turns black

Deep within the woods behind the local church
A hidden remote house where the evil dwells
This is what the rumors tell about this scourge
Are they true or false - Or just some fairy tales?

But once so they say, two children went astray
Far beyond the path they lost their way
No one has ever seen the two sad souls
Is this true or false - A far-fetched anecdote?

It is among us – Nearby among us all
The evil sits enthroned above in it´s nasty hall
The witch is back on earth back from our brains banishment
Abducted children souls the punishment for ignorance

Filthy bastards exist at any time
Screams of agony will fill the sky

[Chorus:]
The night of the great hunt for vengeance and for blood
We ride on it´s dark swings to wreck all filthy sins – Witch Burner
The time has come to judge all twisted male sluts
Be scared of our signs black banners risen high – Witch Burner

[Power-chorus:]
We are, we are – The new dawn
Slayer of the morbid spawn
We are, we are – The new dawn
Avenger of the tormented harm

[Power-chorus]

Nibble, nibble like a rat
Who is nibbling at my shack
Come in my kids, the sky turns black

Run you filthy rats in fear of your weird necks
The grand Warlock chase
We’re witch hunter of modern age
The time has come to pray
We’re hunting night and day
Be scared of our signs black banners risen high – Witch Burner

[Power-chorus]

Raven surround two corpses
In the woods behind the church
Fear and sorrow they have caused
Slayed down so well deserved

5. In Blood Remained

As I wandered through darkest dale
A blood-red weeping victim of betrayal
Sighs all scars be gone the countess young
And then she died within my arms

I took a look and saw real doom
An old dark lock in the light of moon
Bathory of Ecsed, owner of estate
An old cruel bitch fraught with hate

A frisson thrilled my mind
A remote cry filled the sky
A trace of death – in the night
Fresh blood soaks this site

She was
Lizzy Bathory, mistress of doom
The Blood countess the shadow on the moon
She meant real harm for lass and femme
Exhausted them all 640 plus 10

[Chorus:]
A cry in the dark
A murder apart
A spawn of a morbid brain
Elizabeth is her name
A cry in the dark
A murder apart
A spawn of a morbid brain
Bathory is her name

All I know is blind greed
All I knew was pure greed
I’m unable to forgo
Taking bliss is all I know
50 years in the bloom of life
Godlike unshattered, I’m the light
My skin so frail, my eyes so clear
Yet a plague alike I spread the fear

In Blood – Remained – In Blood - Remained

[Chorus]

All I want is time, gained out of blood
Come and hear my cue, I want you

[Pre-chorus:]
The aroma of blood
A blood lake apart
It drives me insane
Elisabeth is my name

[Chorus]

6. Anima

Am I shadow or am I light
Dark wroth qualms ruin my mind
Bring I spate or bring I tide
Claws of Death – Claws of Life

I’m the twilight of bliss and rage
Blinding light in the realm of shades
Am I Apollo or am I Hades
Destroyer of gloom– Destroyer of faith

A hunch in my mind
Dark cravings
Before I become blind

Today I whet blades
To share bread the next day
Today I will fight
To guard tomorrow’s night
Twilight without light

[Chorus:]
Light I bring today
Burnish all stormy waves
The monsoon’s low tide
I am - I will lead and guide
Shades I bring today
Call wind and stormy waves
The tempest’s raw force
I am blizzard of the north

[Power-chorus:]
Tell me what I am
The raw force
Or salvation
A cold storm
Of destruction

How many souls I have choked
Drowned so lorn by words I spoke
Am I a layer or the dark crown
Claws of despair – Claws of hope

In a hall of mirrors I reside
Too mazed to see the way into light
The splinters of madness glare by night
Shivers of beauty – Of all fright

Dark cravings
Before I become blind

[Pre-chorus:]
Today I whet my blades
To part my coat next day
Today I arm for fight
Twilight without light

[Chorus]

[Power-chorus]
Tell me what I am

Dry dew covers my skin
I close my eyes and fall asleep
Forget all thoughts within
For one short wink
Before the curtains fall
Twilight without light

[Chorus]

Light I bring today
Light I lead astray

7. Obey The King

Ash and grime will hide all light
Bright red dawns replaced by night
Ice and snow so black not white
Storm and wind will rush all sites

Rise global strike
A new age of ice and snow
Black forces over earth
Devouring darkness forever glares

Feel my power see my Pride
I’m the fortune’s master, I rule the light
Obey my mania, I am insane
I’m the only magistrate, my will takes place

The era of doom now begins to broach
Signs of downfall appear caused by the human scourge
Power, force and sole reign my childhood dreams
Money, might and terror my inner believe

Black clouds will cover the all-judging supernova
My dark realm begins to rise
Extinction of all life - what a nice mind
A new balance on earth I will provide

Rise global strike
A new age of ice and snow
A never-ending inferno

[Chorus:]
I can push the trigger – The lord is me
Have a nervous finger – The king is me
Better obey my madness – My will above
Deep within a child – Never beloved

[Power-chorus:]
7 Billion souls with one selected stroke
Extinction of all life is my major goal
Downfall of the world, my will be done
A supernova-storm, brighter than the sun

Feel my power, see my pride
I’m the fortune’s master, I rule the light

The world will perish, chaos pervades the day
War of the nations, black turns our fate
Battlefields ex soldiers, however death and harm
Cause we will push the trigger - Final super-war

Ash and grime will hide all light
Bright red dawns replaced by night
Ice and snow so black not white
Storm and wind will rush all sites
The time has come to close your eyes
Be prepared for a global strike
Death is the only solution
Life refuses any redemption

[Chorus]
[Power-chorus]

This is the final super-war

8. Wings Of Dawn

From ashes rising
Together we stand
Our legacy’s black
But it’s not the end
Nothing is too late
You have to fight
Open the gates of freedom
Into the light

Many years passed by
Dark clouds always attend
The sun forgot us
In dark haze I stand
Buried alive
Below the stars up high
I lose all hope for afterlife

Captured in our own ash
Buried 6 feet under at daylight

Sons of darkness
Sons of night
Children of coldness

At the blood red horizon
I can see a faint light
I feel it´s heat
Still craven and shy
On mighty wings it rides
Towards our jail
I feel it´s heat
So mighty and bright

[Chorus:]
Wings of dawn
Out of ashes we rise
Fallen legions
Onward a new time
Wings of dawn
Towards new light
Straight from our tombs
By tailwind to sky

Outta palace of ice
We smash our chains
Outta prison of night
Into dawn of the day
We are sons of Coldness
Of acerbity
The time has come to whet our blades
Sons of darkness
Sons of night
Children of coldness
Children of fright
We are slaves of doom
Of acerbity
The time has come to whet our blades

[Chorus]

6 Feet under at daylight
Buried by the cold night
2 steps from despair
Captured by burning air
Midnight at daylight
All hope flown by
The gates have closed we all thought
No more prayers to our gods

[Chorus]
By tailwind to sky

9. Mossback Children

What do you think your eyes will see?
Why do you judge my peers and me?
Cause I am dumb – I am green
Mossback Children our destiny

From morning till evening working on the fields
Our neck is red - Red as hot steel
Education zero, farmer “Buck” my hero
Farming, drinking, old shrew pounding
And a slang that’s funny sounding

Fuck the rules, who needs schools
We have something better, our self-made booze
That’s our elixir what makes our day
Our flint, our urge, our manna to what we pray

Hey you’re damn right
We are dumb and boozy
Turn up the light

[Chorus:]
All rumors right, we can’t deny
The mossback culture is our pride
Beer and booze our true faith
Disturbia Bavaria
All rumors right we can’t deny
The mossback legacy granddad’s pride
Mountains and Woods longtime friends
Disturbia Bavaria

Look at me - Don’t be shy
What can you see in my eyes?
I give you my permission
Does it fit to your fiction?

Oh nice throne was it pricey?
High above – Your life seems tasty
What’s the name of your high steed?
Is it hauteur? Is it envy?

Many things are not the same by the light of the day
However some are what they seem
Life is filthy, cruel and real
Some tell rumors, other lies – Some are friends, some demise
You can’t hide from the truth
You ain’t perfect so you lose
This is how it feels to be back down earth
A shadow of yourself
All rumors right, you can’t deny

Look at me - Don’t be shy
What can you see - In my eyes?
I give you my permission
Does it fit to your fiction?

[Chorus]

All rumors right, we can’t deny
The mossback legacy granddad’s pride
Mountains and Woods longtime friends
Disturbia – Disturbia – Disturbia Bavaria

10. No One Holds The Crown

It was a cold eve in November 1909
When the time has come to clear the lies
Regrets tortured his mind
He asked her to be aside
Faint - His death guide
The last what he said was this advice
For her life

Use your time, live your life
Else regrets perish your mind

Regrets cry in the head
Time is running through your hands
So many things to ask and do
Last supper and we all knew

The curtains fall
The lights turn down
The last gasp to sound

Time will take us down
Down to break apart
No one holds the crown
The end suspends all
Alea jacta est
Can you hear their call? They take us all
Hush - Don’t say a word
Find your peace and bow outta earth

Rest in peace and be free
Who lived life and knew the fee
If you are yonder wasting thy
Fear the eternal sand of time

[Chorus:]
Time is the curse, our Judge
Dark figure which gives us hope
Hope to fall in love, to live our life
And the one who makes us die
Die without regrets, the head up high
‘Cause you felt love, hate, used your
Time, is running out for those useless
Wasting life

Time will take us down
Down to break apart
No one holds the crown
The end suspends all

The curtains fall, lights turn down
Can you hear their call? They take us all

[Chorus]

You hear my call, listen it’s aimed at all
You will never know when your leave will fall

[Chorus]

Use your time
Live your life
Else regrets
Perish your mind
